Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Blueutils (accessible at blueutils.com). Your privacy and data security are paramount to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how Blueutils handles, processes, and protects your information when you visit our website, utilize our online developer utilities, or interact with our API endpoints.

2. Data Processing & Storage

Blueutils is engineered with strict privacy-first principles. How your data is handled depends on the specific utility and interface you interact with:

• Client-Side (In-Browser) Utilities: Whenever technically feasible, our web utilities execute entirely on the client side directly inside your browser engine. For these utilities, your data payloads, configuration files, and inputs remain strictly on your local device and are never transmitted to external servers.
• Server-Assisted Utilities & REST API Endpoints: Where specific technical requirements, complex conversion engines, or REST API calls (`POST https://blueutils.com/api/...`) require server-side evaluation, all incoming payloads are processed statelessly and strictly in-memory. We do not store, retain, inspect, or log your input payloads, uploaded files, or conversion results on persistent disks or databases. Once the computation finishes and the response is sent back to your client, the payload is immediately purged from active memory.

3. Cookies and Analytics

Blueutils uses standard cookies and web beacons to analyze traffic and improve user experience:

• Google Analytics (gtag.js): We use Google Analytics to monitor aggregated site performance, visitor metrics, and page usage. Google Analytics collects anonymized IP addresses and device browser data.
• Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Blueutils or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opt-Out Options: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

4. GDPR and CCPA Privacy Rights

Under regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users have rights including the right to request access to, deletion of, or restriction of personal data processing. Since Blueutils does not store personal account credentials or raw tool input data, we collect minimal operational logs (IP address for rate-limiting purposes only).

5. Third-Party Links & Services

Blueutils may contain links to external documentation or developer resources. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
